Bit of a random post, but I watched this a few weeks ago and I wanted to share it. It’s quite long, but I think it’s well worth watching – gives a small insight into how much work goes into the shuttle missions even on the ground. Well worth a watch.

I hoped I would do an update a bit earlier than this, but obviously I’ve been very busy! So, what follows is a brief summary of the last couple of months.
I think I’ve just had one of the best ideas of my life… It’s about toilet tissue. I think I’m going to market and sell a new brand of toilet tissue – specifically aimed at men.
It’s going to be called “Bog Roll” and it will have the tag-line “It’s for wiping your arse! (and it’s soft enough for the missus)”
Think about it…. each sheet will be 3 times longer than normal toilet paper (who the hell uses less than three sheets??), and one in ten sheets will be pre-perforated into tiny squares ready to use when you cut yourself shaving.
I think this might make me my first million…
EDIT: Thanks to Jacko for the amazing suggestion/improvement that the small perforated squares run down one edge of the whole roll rather than every 10 th sheet. Much better 
Wednesday was International Suit Up Day 2010. So a few of us dressed up for work, then popped to the RE for a “quick drink” after work. I have to admit, I had to make my best approximation of a suit as I don’t have one (since I slimmed out of my old one, oh yeah!). Still, it was too hot for a jacket in my opinion anyway….
More photos like this can be found here.
Yes, that’s right people! Two updates in as many days. Although, don’t hold your breath for a third tomorrow…
I just wanted to note that I’ve added a few more photos in the panoramic section here and a few more videos (which are hosted on youtube but I have .avi download links if anyone wanted them).
That is all
